Report from the Tomb Raider Set

News in the media has been quiet about Tomb Raider lately, since the announcement that not one but three feature films could be in the works. What's been happening since then? "Ditto's Rush" took a look at a recent day of filming and sends us his report (spoilers may apply).

I saw a pretty simple scene. It was set at Hatfield House in North London, which looks quite good -- it fits in well with the Lara Croft style. Angelina looks good in this scene -- you can tell that's she's physically fit and she really does look like Lara (even though in this particular scene she had a white outfit on). Lara and her companions are in the house and it's raining, at night. An assault team, complete with night vision goggles and gasmasks, is approaching the house.

This sounds very much like a scene in the Tomb Raider script version that we reviewed earlier this year. The assault team is attempting to steal a very valuable, rare artifact that is a key to a certain ancient treasure ¿ one I shall not name here. Hopefully we'll hear more soon, so stay tuned.
